Описание: Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of forest fragment size and habitat structure on species richness and diversity of Brazilian Atlantic forest small mammal communities. During the course of 17 months of live-trapping, a total of 57, 120 trap nights accumulated in six forest plots. There were three size categories: small (60-80 ha.), medium (860 ha) and large (35, 973 ha). At each site two forest sections were selected for small mammal sampling: one in primary and another in secondary succession stage. A total of 692 individuals belonging to 19 species were trapped 1, 366 times. Species diversity was measured using the Shannon-Wiener index H' and also a weighted version of this index that takes into account the number of individuals of each species trapped at the forests. The modified index was developed specifically for this study. The richest and most diverse forest for small mammals was the large secondary fragment, while the least diverse was the small mammal community of the small primary forest. Overall, species diversity is lower among primary forests, and also in forests of decreasing size. However, area sizel species relationship was only observed among secondary forests. It is postulated that primary forests are less complex habitats, when compared to secondary habitats in mid-stages of succession. Therefore, area size/species relationships should only be applied to conservation schemes if habitat structure is taken into account. By using multivariate regression methods in the investigation of the structural and size predictors of small mammal species diversity, it was possible to separate the effects of area size from those of habitat structure. Approximately half of the variance in small mammal species diversity between secondary forest fragments can be explained by area size, while habitat structure accounts for about 45% of the variation.

Описание: This winning debut picture book from Mexican artist Flavia Z. Drago about finding the courage to make friends is perfect for the spooky season or anytime.

Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. And he loves almost nothing more than playing beautiful music on his violin.

But Gustavo is shy, and some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy eye scream or making friends with other monsters. Whenever he tries getting close to them, he realizes they just cant see him. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and to share with them something he loves? With fancifully detailed artwork and visual humor, debut picture-book creator Flavia Z. Dragos vivid illustrations tell a sweet and gently offbeat story of loneliness, bravery, and friendship that is sure to be a treat for little ghouls and goblins everywhere.

Описание: Melodies, Rhythm and Cognition in Foreign Language Learning is a collection of essays reflecting on the relationship between language and music, two unique, innate human capacities. This book provides a clear explanation of the centrality of melodies and rhythm to foreign language learning acquisition. The interplay between language music brings to applied linguists inquiries into the nature and function of speech melodies, the role of prosody and the descriptions of rhythmical patterns in verbal behaviour. Musical students seem to be better equipped for language learning, although melodies and rhythm can benefit all types of students at any age. In fact, in this book melodies and rhythm are considered to be a springboard for the enhancement of the learning of foreign languages.

Описание: Whey, the serum or liquid part of milk remaining after separation of the curd, results from the coagulation of milk by acid or proteolytic enzymes. Whey proteins have a relevant nutritional value, and several commercial uses have been developed by the dairy industry. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the types, composition and health implications of whey. Included in this compilation are the immune-modulating effects of whey proteins and peptides; the behaviour of whey proteins as fat replacers in low-fat food products; up-stream processing methods, general principles and fermentation strategies for microbial productions using whey as a substrate; and the effects of whey protein intake on glucose homeostasis.

Описание: Las Rimas y Leyendas de Gustavo Adolfo B?cquer son reconocidos por su belleza y expresi?n; este libro los incluye a todos seg?n el autor los escribi?. Un poeta y autor de talentos supremos, B?cquer es un ?cono de la poes?a espa?ola de la Era Rom?ntica, y sus obras son ampliamente ense?adas en las escuelas de espa?ol. A pesar de que mostr? tal talento a una edad temprana, su edad adulta en Madrid fue de pobreza y dificultad. A pesar de haber trabajado varias veces, no pudo durar mucho tiempo en un trabajo convencional: el verdadero amor de B?cquer era la poes?a y el lenguaje. Gran parte del mejor trabajo de Gustavo B?cquer fue publicado con la ayuda de su hermano Valentino, algunos eran sat?ricos, mientras que otros escritos eran art?sticos. La tragedia ocurri? cuando Valentino, ?l mismo un pintor fino, cay? gravemente enfermo y muri? de tuberculosis. Este evento afect? gravemente a Gustavo; abatido, muri? solo dos meses despu's en la pobreza m's extrema de Madrid.

Описание: Every house, whether private, like yours, or commercial like offices, shops, hotels, hospitals, clubs, etc., needs to be kept clean and tidy, so that it looks inviting to all. This is where housekeeping comes in. Cleaning and maintenance services can be spotted very easily anywhere. Todays professional housekeeper must be knowledgeable about staff diversity issues, building relations with unions, and maximising the uses of available technology while staying aware of the bottom line. The professional housekeeper must also be aware of growing health and safety concerns. A Professional Housekeeper is an extra pair of hands -- whether its cleaning, laundry, ironing or any other household chores. A housekeeper is a person employed to manage a household, and the domestic staff. The housekeeper is second in command in the house and except in large establishments, where there is a house steward, the housekeeper must consider his/herself as the immediate representative of her mistress. Housekeeping managers see to it that hotel guests have adequate supplies both within their hotel rooms and in the public areas that they visit, such as the spa and washrooms. Different categories of hotel rooms entitle guests to different supplies. For example in a standard room, guests might receive only bathroom supplies, while in executive rooms, hotel services could include mini-bars, laundry and pressing services. It is the responsibility of the housekeeping manager to ensure that a hotel guest receives all the housekeeping services he purchased. Housekeeping managers receive and act on complaints from hotel guests relating to the state of their rooms or public areas. A hotel housekeeping manager is in a unique position to make recommendations about improvements to the hotel services due to his close interaction with the guests. This is an invaluable tool for this ever-changing profession. With the advent of new technology, new markets, and new products, the rapidly changing responsibilities of the professional housekeeper demand a guide for todays lodging industry. This book addresses the changing, growing role of the housekeeping department to include maintenance of grounds, room service management, and foodservice facilities.

Описание: To have maintained its place as an essential text for so many years Human Resource Management in the Hospitality Industry has had to remain relevant to its broad audience. Todays hospitality professional must be an expert at managing many functions. Altogether, human resource management is the process of proper and maximises utilisation of available limited skilled workforce. The core purpose of the human resource management is to make efficient use of existing human resource in the organisation. Managing the workforce effectively is perhaps the single most important issue in delivering first-class service which underpins a hotels performance, reputation and profitability. At the international level, the countries of origin of hotel staff, particularly management and supervisors, have changed dramatically. In the past, companies, in order to preserve their brand integrity in new countries, tended to post skilled staff from their own already successful properties. In many countries, however, immigration rules have changed in order to protect local employment, ensuring that home-grown employees have employment priority. In addition, more international companies can now rely on a more abundant source of local trained labor in domestic markets, as a result of local education and training initiatives. Even so, restrictions on importing senior management and skilled supervisors present companies with challenges as they work to protect the integrity of their brand. This book provides the reader with an essential understanding of the purpose, policies and processes concerned with managing an enterprises workforce within the current business and social environment. The book examines the nature and assesses the impact of HRM within a highly under-researched division of the service sector, namely the hospitality industry. The book provides comprehensive overview of the hospitality and tourism industries, and emphasizes the importance of effective human resources management to all organisations within them.

Описание: Although several countries have been introducing more stringent laws to reduce the amount of waste to be land-filled, in an attempt to maximise recycling and materials recovery, landfilling is still the most generalised practice for municipal solid waste treatment. In this book, the authors discuss waste management in landfills, regional practices and its environmental impact. Topics include the reduction of environmental impact of municipal landfill leachate during oxidative treatment; polymers recycling; management of electronic waste in the Basque Country; and toxicity of landfills by plant cytogenetic and mutagenic effects.
